It was an expensive month, since I had to pay both property taxes and condo insurance.  I also had unusual medical expenses due to an infection and there was also the very sad business of having to put down my beloved Iggy.  Two birthdays made the gift category higher than usual.  Entertainment was higher than usual because of the family football pool.  Personal was high because of the purchase of skin care products.  I ate out more than usual because of having no access to my kitchen for several days.

On the bright side, groceries were very low, and I spent nothing on clothing, vacation/travel, fees/services, car repair/maintenance, and household supplies!  Phone was very low, because I only paid for a switchover to a new service, and the monthly service fee hasn't hit yet.
